With a GATE score of 549 in Data Science (DA) , you can target several reputed institutes for M.Tech admissions, though top IITs may be out of reach for general category candidates.

Where You Can Apply:

• Newer IITs (like IIT Jodhpur, IIT Bhilai) may consider this score, especially for reserved categories.

• Top NITs (like NIT Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal) offer Data Science or AI programs, and your score is competitive for some of them.

• IIITs like IIIT Bangalore and IIIT Hyderabad have DS programs. While IIIT-H conducts its own entrance, IIIT-B accepts GATE.

• Other universities (e.g., University of Hyderabad, DTU, JNU) also offer good programs in Data Science and often have lower cutoffs.

• 
  

1. Check institute websites for past cutoffs and eligibility.

2. Apply via CCMT portal for NITs and through COAP for IITs.

3. Consider category reservations if applicable.

4. Keep backups like state universities and IIITs in mind.

Your score is decent for several good institutes—apply smartly and widely to improve your chances!

Hello,

A minor spelling mistake in your father's name on the GATE 2025 scorecard is usually not a major issue, and colleges generally do not reject applications solely for this reason. However, to avoid any complications, you should be ready with an affidavit stating the correct name.

When and How to Show the Affidavit :-

• If the institute specifically asks for a correction, they might request the affidavit during document verification.

• Some colleges may ask you to upload it during the online application process.

• If there is no option to upload it, carry the affidavit and other supporting documents during the physical verification process.

• You can also email the concerned authority of the respective institute if required.

What to Mention in the Affidavit :-

• A statement that both names belong to the same person (your father).

• Your correct details and the GATE 2025 scorecard reference.

• Signature and attestation from a notary or gazetted officer .

Also, you will be eligible for IITs and NITs as long as all other details are correct. This minor mistake should not lead to rejection if you provide proper clarification during document verification.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

The 12th board marks calculation depends on the education board you are affiliated with. Some boards, like Karnataka PU Board, consider the average of four semesters, while CBSE and most state boards rely on final board exam performance.

If your board follows a semester system, weightage varies. For example, Karnataka's PUC weightage is I PU (20%) + II PU Midterm (20%) + II PU Final Exam (60%). Always check your board’s official guidelines.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you

Your GATE 2025 Biomedical Engineering score of 24.33 falls below the expected qualifying marks for the General category, which is 25.  Qualifying marks are the minimum required to be considered for admission to postgraduate programs in institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Therefore, with a score below this threshold, admission to IITs is unlikely.

You can explore other institutions which do offer MTech.
